Probably not my "favy" either but certainly merits more than 55 points. Actually, another pretty solid buy from Costco at a much better price than the one shown on wine-searcher. Clean and fresh with orchard fruits, lightweight in body and acidity but a pleasant accompaniment for several meals.

A brief follow-up note to say that the wine was pretty much unchanged the next day, which I found pleasantly surprising, and indicates a good structure I think.

Currently retailing around $200 or more, I paid a usurious $16.65 in the wayback. Gosh, I last drank a bottle eleven years ago and I see that my TN then is the same as that which I would write now - which I probably wont as it is largely redundant. An observation though: old wine is not like new wine. A statement more self-evident is probably hard to imagine; but I think for those drinkers without experience of old wines there is a tendency to dismiss them as past it or just vinegar or something equivalently pejorative. This wine is NOT vinegar. The cork did disintegrate upon extraction, though fortunately left no residue in the bottle. The level was at high shoulder with some considerable deposits around the neck. The color is brilliant ruby with a clear rim and not a hint of bricking or yellow. Aroma combining old cigar boxes with floral notes. Quite tart red berry fruit with rewarding length. I found that it improved over some four hours exposure. I kept sipping more before retiring.
